| Dan Barrett

| "Melody in Swing finds trombonist and arranger Dan Barrett returning to the classic small band jazz setting we heard on his previous critically acclaimed Jubilesta! This time Barrett is leading a quintet - a perfect theater for his imaginative arrangements, his warm tone and lyrical sound' . It's all here: (a) testimonial to how jazz's musical past has woven its way into the musical present of this gifted trombonist." -- John Breckow, Former host of Smoke Rings on radio station KPFK-FM Los Angeles, California |

| Dan Barrett Trio and Quartet
| Jubilesta!
| $10.00
| "On this latest disc, only Dan's second as sole leader, his playing is to the fore. I can't think of very many recent offerings with trombone as the only horn, or of many trombonists who could meet such a challenge, but Dan Barrett comes through with flying colors. What is striking here is not just his secure technique, consistently superb intonation, and mastery of mutes (the plunger in particular), but the maturity of his conception and the beauty of his sound. And all this is at all times at the service of the music; the message is always there." -- Dan Morgenstern, jazz editor and producer and the Director of the Institute of Jazz Studies, Rutgers University. |

| Dan Barrett, featuring Al Jenkins
| Reunion with Al Featuring Al Jenkins
| $10.00
| This recording introduces trombonist Al Jenkins, a long overlooked hero of the jazz scene and a strong influence on the developing talents of the teen-aged Dan Barrett, to a new generation of listeners. As Dan has written about his first meeting with Al, "His ensemble playing was different than any I had heard up to that time. He literally had his own way of swinging. He found just the right notes to impart the fullest harmony, and delivered them with that utterly relaxed, irresistible swing. I felt I was in the presence greatness." And, as listeners to this recording will find, the stunning vibrancy of his trombone still possesses the power to accelerate the pulse. -- Producer's Note |

The result is Blue Swing, a collection of brilliant individuals who have developed the cohesion and that rare combination of relaxation and precision achieved only by the great jazz organizations. "If this CD doesn't earn them a solid place on the new-millennial jazz scene, we're in trouble." -- Jim Leigh, a novelist & journalist whose monthly column "West Coasting" appears in the Mississippi Rag. |
